Good looking setup here in Gippsland Vic. I would imagine the price would be potentially several million. Anyone know anything about the brewery itself? I jokingly sent it to SWMBO and her response was "Lets do it!" :eek: - I wasnt expecting that.. If only it was in northern NSW or SE QLD I...

Was about to start a kettle sour mash tonight but I've hit a roadblock. I think my Birko Urn might have finally given up the ghost. The light comes on but the element just doesn't even get warm. I've checked the overload switch on the side, it seemed to be protruding, but I've pushed it in and...

I bought two little brown pumps for a project I was building, but have never ended up using them. I havent even opened the box. They also come with brass fitings & clamps. Identical to this...

Does anyone here own one of these? http://www.partypig.com/Home.aspx On the face of it it looks like a neat little thing to have for parties, BBQ's, brew club meets, camping etc As it seems like it could be much less fussing around than filling my 9L corny keg, and it appears that it will...

A couple of my locals featured on Lateline last night: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2014/s4135158.htm Good on them!

Good evening gentlemen, I seem to have a recurring problem with my grain mill where the free spinning roller - the one not attached to my drill - won't start spinning on its own accord when I begin pouring grain into the hopper. I can give it a bit of a kick start with a wooden chopstick and...

Cleaned out the brew shed today and rather than throw this stuff out I would rather donate it to another brewer if possible. Pickup from Marrickville. 1. Westinghouse silhouette 303L freezer. It fits two fermenters on top of each other. Is done me well for the past 5 years, but I've down sized...

There's a good article in the Guardian about online shopping under the influence of alcohol, and all sorts of mysterious, yet now unwanted items that turn up at your doorstep a week or two after a night of perhaps a few too many beverages. It's here for your reading, gotta love the comment at...

The Bank hotel in Newtown recently revamped their back bar, or is it middle bar? The one on street level that used to be their cocktail bar. Anyway, there's 12 taps of craft beer and one hand pump, plus a good selection of bottles. I popped in on Sunday, they had all the usual suspects of...

I've got a little project I'm planning, and it involves slapping bits of steel flat bar together to form the under carriage of a recycled timber table for my deck out the back. Recycled timber tables made from railway sleepers retail for over $1200 in the shops, so I'm thinking about building...

So this brewery opened up just two weeks ago, literally a 5 minute bike ride away from my house so I had no excuse not to pop down and check it out, and so I did just that on the weekend. At the front of the brewery is a simple bar made out of pallets where one can pull up a stool and try their...

Does anyone stock this malt in Australia? If so, who? If not, why not? And can anyone tell me how it compares with Weyermann Smoked Malt, or how else I can substitute it? The description sounds too good, and when I see the word 'unique' it makes me want it bad! "4° L. This unique malt is...

Discovered this place by accident while I was in the area. Unfortunately I was driving, and on my way to somewhere else I had to be so I couldn't stay for more than one beer (I had a Murray's Lets get ready to crumble, which was a bit err.. Weird) but anyway from what I saw all I can say is WOW...

read on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21541887 Fairly typical sort of article, but what on earth does this mean? Do they mean the kegs are pasteurized and then carbonated with nitrogen / co2? What's wrong with that?

Today I decided to put down a brew, and do it No Chill. Something I haven't done for years, but a combination of factors such as this isnt a late hopped beer, and I had time to kill and no space in the fermentation fridge led me to think why not? Anyway, I did the old splash some boiling water...

So I've fairly recently taken up a new hobby, and that's kitesurfing. For those who dont know what it is, you basically fly a big kite ranging from 6 - 17 meters in area depending on the wind speed. The stronger the wind, the smaller kite you need, and you have it pull you along the water while...

There's plenty of great stuff going on this year, who's going to what and where/when? http://sydneycraftbeerweek.com I'm thinking a few of the tap takeover nights are in store for me. Also, rum barrel aged porter served INSIDE a chocolate cup. :icon_drool2:

Yesterday I did a 2.5 hour boil with a high gravity wort (1.080 OG), and for the last hour of the boil the thermostat kept cutting in and out. That was with the temperature dial set to 110C. It would be on for about 20 seconds, then would turn off for about 10 - 15 seconds. The boil was more of...

I'm in the market for an electric meat grinder and I have little idea where to begin. I havent been able to find them in any retail stores where I can chat to a salesman, so I've been doing some research online and holy moley it's a whole new world out there that honesty I'm finding a bit...

I found, at a guess anywhere from 150 to 250 crown seals (or about 700 grams) in a container in my shed today. I long ago sold my bench capper and I feel it'd be a shame to just chuck em out. Pickup in Marrickville A.H or Camperdown / Broadway during business hours. I'm happy to post if you...
